This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Nedlebow, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username. If you choose to do so, we ask the following:

Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
Please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles email is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Orange Mike | Talk 15:16, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

May 2023

Your edit to Classical realism (international relations) has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. 1AmNobody24 (talk) 07:55, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't re-add the text to any page on Wikipedia until a member of the Volunteer Response Team has verified on-wiki that the permissions are properly sorted. Furthermore, there are a multitude of formatting and sourcing issues with your proposed version of the article and so it doesn't appear to be an improvement compared to the previous version. Please see the note below about edit warring to restore your preferred version of an article. DanCherek (talk) 13:22, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warning: Edit warring at Classical realism (international relations)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Classical realism (international relations). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. DanCherek (talk) 13:22, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partial block

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (Classical realism (international relations)) for abuse of editing privileges.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. DanCherek (talk) 14:24, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. The purpose of this block is to prevent further disruption to the Classical realism (international relations) article, as you have showed no intention of stopping your reverts to your preferred version of the article. I will try to clearly explain the reasoning behind this below.

With multiple editors reverting your edits, you were advised to use the talk page to seek consensus for inclusion. The solution to an edit war is not to repeatedly re-add content to the article; that's not how a collaborative encyclopedia works.
Your edit is in contravention of the conflict of interest guideline, which you have previously been notified about on this talk page. Disruptively reverting to a version that prominently places yourself in the lead, based on a citation to yourself, is not okay. Please use the talk page, and the {{Request edit}} template, to solicit changes related to your conflict of interest going forward.
Several administrators have advised that you need to wait for your permission email to be reviewed and cleared by the Volunteer Response Team (VRT). This process includes a VRT member indicating on the talk page of the article that the permission has been received. Note that this is in addition to the above reasons for the block; I don't doubt the veracity of the permission, but it's also not the only consideration when deciding whether to include a proposed change to an article.

The block is limited to the main article page. You are, of course, welcome to use the talk page at Talk:Classical realism (international relations) to discuss your proposed edits and to gain consensus for additions. And, you can submit an unblock appeal, which will be reviewed by another administrator, by following the instructions in the block notice above. "Indefinite" does not mean "infinite"; it can be lifted as soon as an administrator is convinced that the block is no longer necessary to prevent disruption. There are also 6,651,336 other articles on Wikipedia that you are able to edit. DanCherek (talk) 14:24, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
